This merlot is at its best right now. Some residual tannins line the bottle neck when opened. The taste is rich chocolate with an edge of spice. Medium finish. Drink and enjoy.

Sadly, this is my last bottle. In it's prime! This is a beautiful Merlot. Bouquet of raspberry, bing cherry, tar, leather, and cloves. Silky mouth feel with vanilla, cherry, and red fruits dominate. Wish I had more.

This might have been the best expression of a Merlot I have ever tasted. After a 2 hour decant intense strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of rainier cherry on the front. Layers of complexity throughout. I wish I had more then one bottle left. Will wait a year to open just to see if this improves any.

My last bottle of this was a treat. Raspberry, chocolate and a little currant. Great mouthfeel and finish.

This was a very tasty bottle of merlot. Nice fruit with very balanced acids. Should peak in about 2 years.
